Best $80-100 PSU

[Sniper82]

$100 is the limit. Will be running x2,2gb,300gb,8800 series,ect. Is the Fortron Blue Storm 500watt still considered a good one?

I'd get the Corsair VX550 over the blue storm any day. Single rail so much better, plus has more amps on the 12V too.

Corsair HX520 for $81 with MIR $100 without

need something with more wattage

Silverstone ST60F 600Watt for $100

 

[Sniper82]

which is better the VX550 or the HX520. I am recommending this to a friend so I want it to be decent quality. I haven't researched PSU's in a while since my Enermax Truepower has been good to me for 3 years.

This any good?

both get brilliant reviews...the HX520 is modular if that matters. Also the HX520 has been on the market longer so any bugs that it might have had have come to light more readily.

HX520 by far. You can get it from Buy.com for $99.

The BlueStorm 2 is much improved over the original BlueStorm and is worth a look.

I dislike MIR. Pain to have to fill crap out and mail it in and then it seems like ages till you get the money back.

Well FSP isn't spotless, they have had that out of spec ripple issue (whether the blue storm 2 has that I don't know).

Yeah, well the Corsair is single rail vs. dual rail, with more amps to boot. The blue storm also has those two ugly pink cables, wth is up with that

You're right, both are good units but I was just giving my opinion on it.

well, you could just buy it at club it for 99 and not mail in the rebate if you "dislike" it so much.
